JERUSALEM — Efforts to agree on a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas intensified Tuesday, but the struggle to achieve even a brief pause in the fighting emphasized the obstacles to finding any lasting solution.
On the deadliest day of fighting in the week-old conflict, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton arrived hurriedly in Jerusalem and met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to push for a truce. She was due in Cairo on Wednesday to consult with Egyptian officials in contact with Hamas, placing her and the Obama administration at the center of a fraught process with multiple parties, interests, and demands.

Yes, it's a problem. But what happened with the Syria thing? I don't see any articles on that anymore. So, what -- when the Globe doesn't think there is a solution acceptable to liberals it imply stops the news on the subject?
But, it makes sense that the Whole Foods story, the 38-story tower, and the TSA's seized items would be high priority than the Syria thing and push it off the front page, right?
"A delegation visiting from the Arab League canceled a news conference at the hospital because of the Israeli aerial assaults as wailing ambulances brought victims in, some of them decapitated."

No need to rush the decapitated to the hospital.
While President Obama publicly stressed Israel’s right to self-defense because of domestic political concerns, officials said the administration also had decided to take an understanding approach to Morsi’s need to denounce Israel in order to appeal to his domestic audience" And exactly WHO put the anti-Israel Muslim Brotherhood Morsi in power?..This is liberal idiocy at its finest. Obama CREATED this mess by his "Arab Spring". And now we see him and Hillary once again waving the White Flag to radical Muslims. Iran's Mullahs are jumping for joy that clueless Liberals reelected Barack Obama.
"While President Obama publicly stressed Israel’s right to self-defense because of domestic political concerns, officials said the administration also had decided to take an understanding approach to Morsi’s need to denounce Israel in order to appeal to his domestic audience" This disgusting statement by the Times and printed by the Globe just shows that Barack Obama does NOT have Israel's back. But it shows that these newspapers DO have the clueless Commander in Chief Barack Obama's back. Just imagine if George Bush did this same kind of Israel back stabbing.
